Yesterday we went to a rodeo. Not just any rodeo. This one was done by kids between 4 or 5 and 18 years old. Their participation was age-appropriate. All ages were the protective clowns, youngest protected the riders of sheep. The older boys distracted the steers and bulls from their riders. The youngest rode stick horses in barrel races, and the oldest group rode bulls. There was "mutton bustin'", pole bending, barrel races, and even rode calves, steers, and bulls. They didn't have any saddle bronc riding, though. With many of my photos, you may not believe that they are all 18 or under, but they were. Yes, adults were there to supervise and prepare the animals for their riders, but the performers and rodeo clowns were all kids.
